2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

The characters that feature in the media product I have created are all young men of a white, working class background. It provides a representation of young males who are involved in crime and street culture. British Gangster films typically include a representation of young male criminals who are part of street culture, increasingly so in recent times. My media product represents this social group through the use of current underground music; dubstep, which is extremely popular with young males involved in street culture at present. It also provides a representation of them through the drug use that features as the recreational use of illegal substances is a prominent part of street culture at present and the distribution of these substances is something that has always been assosciated with the criminal underworld; the social group to which the characters in my film belong.
